IBMA collaborates with several stakeholders
in Brussels and around the world:

BPG

BioProtection Global (BPG) is the new name that has been adopted by the Federation of the world’s leading Biocontrol and Biopesticide Associations, established in fall 2014. The new name was approved and Board members were elected at the Annual Biocontrol Industry Meeting (ABIM) 2015 in Basel, Switzerland.

Copa Cogeca

The united voice of farmers and their cooperatives in the European Union.
www.copa-cogeca.be.

In July 2014, we wrote together a COPA-COGECA and IBMA Roadmap for collaboration. In the meantime, there have been several initiatives that are relevant to this area of work, such as the establishment of the European Union Minor Uses Coordination Facility (EUMUCF), the Motion for Resolution from the European Parliament (8/2/2018 B8-0140/2017) and the Expert Group on Sustainable Plant Protection. Copa-Cogeca and IBMA have actively contributed to all of these initiatives with a shared purpose and common
goals. Therefore, this new Roadmap for Collaboration in 2018-2025 will take into account these initiatives and incorporate this into the future work of IBMA and Copa-Cogeca. This will encourage a more efficient use of the existing resources.
